Interesting. From what I've seen to this point, these guidelines don't go far enough, particularly with regard to addressing the risks presented by asymptomatic crew or cast members. But maybe the updated version will surprise me.

It's a whole new world we're stepping into now a lot of things will never be the same - unlike the queues for drive thro #CostaCoffee that have reopened 🤷

They are rushing it all, its not under control here and they're just interested in making money flow at the cost of peoples lives😟

I’m not sure why, but this reminds me of the Monty Python sketch where they were filming in a trench (so the short actor would look tall per than his tall female companion).

Update: All future UK film and television productions will be about the work life of crime scene investigators out in the field.

Being on set is about the most opposite thing of social distancing I can think of! 🤣

Me was wondering what the TV and movies are going to do regarding filming. Me would think social distancing is near impossible for actors and most crew.

As someone in the UK and someone who just graduated looking at going into the TV industry I'm honestly scared, the government don't seem to have a clue what they're doing and more people are going to die because of it😓

Hopefully some of the day time TV will not come back!

I was working over in the UK last year and they LOVE rules and regulations on set. I’m not kidding when I tell you that call sheets can be 12 pages long due to the health and safety rules. I can also tell you that nobody follows these rules as it’s just not practical.
